“I used to do cut-and-pastes with my doubled copies of comics as a kid to put the DC villains against the Marvel heroes.”Continue reading →

With the latest incarnation of HORROR CHANNEL’S FRIGHTFEST ready to consume and infect on London August 25th through 29th , the DISCOVERY STAGE will showcase a variety of genre features that continue to rule the film festival circuit! A part of that group of selected films and filmmakers is Kansas City madman Patrick Rea! Known for his short film work around the world including PILLOW FIGHT, A HOWL OF A GOOD TIME, COUNTER PARTS as well as the 2013 thriller NAILBITER; Rea will be presenting his latest feature called ENCLOSURE. This tense and supernatural tale of isolation focuses on a married couple and the choices that they must make as their camping trip falls under siege by a variation of what could be called monsters. We grabbed Rea in between film projects to talk about ENCLOSURE, micro filmmaking, connecting casting and of course playing at FRIGHTFEST!

“I think the ‘container’ horror film really gets my creative juices flowing, because we have to really work hard to keep things interesting for the audience. It’s not easy making a film like this, despite not having many locations. It actually becomes way more challenging to find ways to keep the audience engaged while being in primarily one place.”

We spoke with legendary actor Michael Berryman known for his many unique roles in films such as The Hills Have Eyes (1977), The Devil’s Reject’s, Lords of Salem, Weird Science & One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest as well as appearing in TV shows such as The X Files,

“….One day a gentleman walked in and asked me “Are you an actor?” I found that pretty funny.”

Continuing our Friday the 13th week! We interview the actor who played the first ever portrayal of the iconic Jason Voorhees in the original film!! He has gone on to many other film roles as well as a successful music career.

“Sean [Cunningham] called me up and asked, “Can you swim?” and when I replied that I could, he said, “Great! You got the part”Continue reading →

Sean has turned being a horror fan into a full time career. As a talent agent he represents many of the biggest names in Horror for appearances/conventions. He is also an accomplished producer/writer. He produced many of the additional special features and featurettes included in the Scream Factory/Anchor Bay special edition box set Halloween Complete Collectionincluding a specially filmed documentary with Jamie Lee Curtis.

In 2009 he co-wrote the film ‘The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond‘ which starred Danielle Harris & Robert Patrick. He produces his own series ‘Horrors Hallowed Grounds‘ where he revisits iconic Horror locations from films such as Halloween & A Nightmare On Street and also contributes to HorrorHound magazine.

“….It just started as a hobby. I went out searching for the locations from the original Halloween and when I happened upon my very first location it was like visiting a childhood home” Continue reading →

We caught up with horror legend Felissa Rose. Best known for her portrayal as Angela Baker (one of the few strong female protagonists in Horror) in the 1983 cult horror Sleepaway Camp and it’s 2008 sequel Return to Sleepaway Camp. She has since appeared in many horror films such as Camp Dread; where she starred alongside Danielle Harris & Eric Roberts.

That was interesting & I can remember it like yesterday for some reason.

Other than that, for me, it was very much a job. I started working professionally in show business at age 6.

By the time I got Nightmare, I was actually getting a little burned out (pardon the pun, gee I just realized the irony of that comment considering what my character does to herself to stay awake…Hmmm).

Also, because it was a low budget film, there was not a lot of hanging around time as there can be on bigger budget sets. On a lower budget, you just cannot afford to waste time, so I just remember going to the set, doing my job and going home. I lived very close to where we filmed too. Most of the interior shots of the hospital were filmed at the VA hospital in Brentwood where I lived & was raised. Also, in spite of the fact that I grew up in show business, i was actually pretty shy, so i just kind of stayed to myself at that time mostly.Continue reading →
